It was the usual crowd for Gov. Rick Perry's annual State of the State address at the capitol – a joint session of the Texas Legislature with House members joined by Senators on chairs set up in the aisle of the House chamber, various state officials, staffers and reporters alongside tourists and various delegations in town for the day, all gathered to hear what the longest-serving governor in Texas history had to say now.
James Richard "Rick" Perry has been governor of this state for more than 12 years, and there is mounting evidence that he has overstayed his welcome. Never the most popular figure in state politics, he only ascended to the governor's mansion when George W. Bush was elected president in 2000. Since then he has managed to hang on largely due to political circumstance. He won reelection in 2006 with only 39 percent of the vote in a divided field. When he ran again in 2010 after first signaling he wouldn't be a candidate, it caught Sen.
The Examiner bills itself as "The Independent Voice of Southeast Texas" and strives to report the news without fear or favor.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

Lauzon pushes for regionalizationBy David Delcore
Staff Writer | December 03,2012When it comes to a still-evolving plan to consolidate emergency services in four central Vermont communities, Barre Mayor Thomas Lauzon believes the time for fence sitting is over.
Lauzon wants to get decision makers from Barre, Barre Town, Montpelier and Berlin in the same room to discuss what some of them heard at a recent meeting of the inter-municipal committee that has spent three years evaluating the potential for a merged public safety authority.
That panel hasnt had much in the way of representation from Barre recently, but Lauzon has some ideas hed like to share with his council colleagues and their counterparts in the three other communities. He hopes to have that opportunity at a joint meeting tentatively scheduled for Dec. 10.
Lauzon said this week he would like to leave that meeting with the elusive answer to one key question.
Are the four communities interested in moving forward or not? he asked. Thats my concern.
Its not the only one.
Lauzon said he continues to struggle with what he characterized as the all-in approach endorsed by the committee. Its members believe merging police, fire, ambulance and emergency dispatch services in one fell swoop is the only plausible way to persuade the four communities to join forces.
Lauzon said he doesnt buy that and believes a phased approach that would start by merging a simple service emergency dispatching that all four communities need and use in essentially the same way would be a logical first step and provide the blueprint for consolidating the full range of public safety services.
Im not softening the commitment, he said. I absolutely believe that if the communities are serious about this by 2015 public safety (including police, fire and ambulance) in central Vermont would be regionalized.
In fact, Lauzon said he would like representatives for all four local governing bodies to sign on to a plan that would have that as its goal.
The phased approach outlined by Lauzon would call for the creation of an autonomous dispatch service no later than July 1, 2013. That service would replace separate round-the-clock services that are now operated by police departments in Barre and Montpelier. The new service would provide coverage for Barre Town, which contracts with the Lamoille County Sheriffs Department for its dispatching services, and Berlin, which already relies in part on Montpeliers dispatch center.
Theres no doubt in my mind that (dispatching) could be done at an equal or lesser cost, he said, noting creating a consolidated service that would be run by an independent commission would come with a bonus.
It gets us used to the idea of working together, he said.
Lauzon said he is prepared to ask representatives of all four boards Dec. 10 to sign on to a plan that would merge fire and ambulance services in their communities no later than July 1, 2014, and their police departments no later than July 1, 2015. He said the additional time is a reflection of the complexities associated with merging distinctly different services.
Theres a lot of moving parts here, he said.
Though Barre and Montpelier both have full-service public safety systems, Barre Town and Berlin dont currently have police coverage in the late night and early morning hours, and both rely on volunteer fire departments. Barre Town operates a stand-alone ambulance service that provides coverage on a contract basis to most of Berlin.
The committee has suggested the proposed public safety authority could provide a full range of round-the-clock emergency services for all four communities and expressed concern that the incremental approach advocated by Lauzon could reduce the incentive for some communities to fully participate.
Lauzon said he isnt sold on that argument and believes it is something for the four boards to talk about.
Its a relatively easy decision (for Barre and Montpelier) because its not a departure from what were doing now, Lauzon said. For communities like Barre Town and Berlin I think theres a lot more thought that has to go into that.
However, some members of the Barre City Council said this week they are skeptical of giving up control of their police department but more than willing to explore consolidating dispatch services.
Lauzon said he plans to ask the four boards to use some of the remaining money voters appropriated this year for the regionalization study to hire a lawyer to draft documents for the creation of a regional public safety authority. Those documents would, among other things, formalize the governance structure for the proposed authority. The committee has suggested a seven-member board comprising one member appointed from each community and three elected at large.
For the purposes of discussion, Lauzon has suggested the municipal manager or administrator of each community be appointed to the panel and that the combined boards elect the three at-large members to staggered one-, two- and three-year terms. Those seats would be filled by voters in all four communities when the terms expire.
It is unclear how Lauzons call for municipal leaders to take a more hands-on approach to the regionalization effort will affect the committees own plans in the run-up to what members hope will be a vote in all four communities next October. However, he said, he believes it is important for community officials to send a clear signal about where they stand on the concept of regionalization.
Its something weve all had three years to think about, he said. Id like to know how we feel about going forward.

First, what I know: Wargame Airland Battle is a sequel to last year's Wargame European Escalation, which is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) title created by Eugen Systems.
Now, what I don't know: how to be even remotely competitive in an online multiplayer RTS game. In fact, I am humiliatingly bad at it. This personal limitation is by no means a recent epiphany, mind you, but it most assuredly is a recently reinforced tidbit of knowledge.
This bold statement of fact naturally begs the question as to what recent occurrence would prompt me to confess such a weakness quite so publicly. Well, it has to do with the pending release of the aforementioned Wargame Airland Battle. You'll note that I never said that I didn't
RTS games, merely that I am not very competitive at them, especially when confronted by an experienced and capable player. The type of player that you might be matched up against when playing with a late-beta, multiplayer-only version of the game. A battle like that just might turn out to be so fraught with mayhem that the less experienced player finds himself so overwhelmed that he cannot even begin to take notice of his surroundings.
Why, should something like that occur, it may not come as much of a surprise to learn that the bulk of his ensuing experience with the game was garnered by playing with it offline.
So, yeah: don't ask me how I know.
And at the end of the day, there are only two things that can be said about multiplayer anyway: that it's there, and that it works. And that you had better bring your 'A' game. So there are
things that can be said.
Irrespective of single- or multiplayer, the mechanics of the game are identical. In the words of Eugen Systems (a group I believe must be located somewhere other than in the U.S. based on the beginning of the second sentence):
It is 1985. Tired of repeated provocations from the United States, the USSR strengthens its military capabilities and rises to the challenge of the confrontation. After several months of growing tension, an incident in the North Sea sparks an escalation. All over the world, Pact and NATO forces are mobilized and set the world on fire. As neither camp dominates the main front in Germany, fate hangs in the balance in Scandinavia...
The topology of the battlefield is a mix of small rural towns and open fields, with more than a few forests thrown in to keep things interesting. At the beginning of the battle, each player is granted a pool of credits from which to draw in order to field an army and air force. The players are members of either NATO (seven countries) or the Warsaw Pact (four countries). The weaponry available to each player is naturally dependent on the selected country. Each type of weapon, be it a vehicle or a firearm, is detailed to include a plethora of relative strengths and weaknesses. Vehicles are further categorized into utility groups such as support, recon, tank, and helicopters. There are also utility groups for things like logistics and infantry. The player will draw from as many of these disparate groups as necessary to create a well-rounded fighting force.
As each item is selected, it is placed into position on the battlefield. Naturally, the player is limited to placing units in an assigned limited area. This is all as easy as drag and drop. The player is not required to use all of the available credits in this initial outfitting, and would probably be well-served by holding some in reserve for later use in bringing in reinforcements if the battle is not going well. Because the outcome of the battles depends heavily on keeping the fighting units well supplied, it behooves the player to also retain some credits for use in replenishing supplies.
Once the battle has begun, the movement of units is fairly straightforward. Units can easily be rubber-banded into groups and commanded to move to a location on the map using the mouse. Various types of movement orders are available, such as 'Attack', which will cause the unit to attack any enemies encountered, and 'Fast Move', which will encourage units to stay on paved roads whenever possible. I was unable to determine if move orders can be chained to allow a 'Fast Move' to a certain point, followed by a slower 'Attack' move once a set position has been reached. I was, however, able to determine that it's a good idea (or, more accurately,
have been a good idea) to send recon units ahead first.
Aerial assets like helicopters are treated very much like any of the ground-based units in that they are positioned on the map alongside the rest of the army, but airplanes are placed in squares on the screen. Once selected with a mouse click, they are instructed in the same way as the ground units, although there is no differentiation of travel speed. They are always fast!
There is a lot to pay attention to as the battle rages on and having to tell each and every unit obvious things like "find some cover, you're being shot at!" would be tremendously burdensome. This is, after all, a strategy game; tactical decisions should be left to the troops. It is good, then, that the individual units did show some initiative when faced with enemy action. They needed some higher-level direction now and again, so it is not as if you can sit back and let them do everything on their own, but it is possible to ignore them long enough to manage other areas of the battle.
I have saved the best for last. With a simple spin of the mouse wheel, you can zoom right on down to the unit level and get a close-up view of the action. Guns firing, things exploding, and all of the stuff you normally only see in an FPS. This is cool in and of its own right, of course, but it is also helpful to be able to see the situation on the ground. Elevation changes and areas of dense cover are certainly good to know about in almost any decision-making or planning process. The ability to quickly move from one skirmish to another helps when trying to manage battles spread across multiple places on the map.
So while I didn't cover myself in glory in the multiplayer mode, and worse, hid myself away in a locked game so I could get a feel for the workings of outfitting and moving an army, I came away impressed with the high degree of complexity and the well-designed control schemes. Coupled with the attractive and detailed battlescape, the entire package left me anxious for a chance to try my hand in the singleplayer mode that will be included in the release version. I will still lose most of my battles - that is just the nature of the beast - but at least I will do it more privately.

She became one of the most highly acclaimed African American women of her time. While Lampkin is best known for becoming the first women to be elected to the national board of the NAACP, she spent much of her life rallying for racial and gender equality.
Lampkin's social and political activism began shortly after moving to Pittsburgh. Lampkin proceeded to devote her adult life to social causes, beginning with those issues that were important to her as a black housewife. As a motivational speaker, she organized women into consumer protest groups. She is believed to have given her first women's rights tea in 1912. In addition, as an active member of the Lucy Stone Women's Suffrage League and the National Suffrage League, Lampkin rallied for women's right to vote. Understanding the challenges specific to African American women, she also became involved with the National Association for Colored Women (NACW), and was later named national organizer and chair of the executive board.
In 1912, she married William Lampkin, a restaurant owner, and helped him in the Pittsburgh suburb restaurant.
Lampkin involved herself in an amazing number of other organizations and projects. During World War I, she led Allegheny County's black community in raising over $2 million in Liberty Bond sales. Lampkin helped organize the first Red Cross chapter among black women and created local chapters of the Urban League and NAACP.
Due to Lampkins exceptional activism for African Americans, she was profiled in the Pittsburgh Courier in December of 1912. In response, Lampkin became a strong advocate of the Courier and even received a cash prize in 1913 for selling the most subscriptions. After several years of investing time and money to this newspaper, Lampkin was elected vice-president of the Courier Publishing Company in 1929.
For over thirty years, Lampkin was an enthusiastic member and officer for the NAACP. Between 1930 and 1964, she served as an officer for three consecutive terms. Lampkin began as a regional secretary (1930-1935), than served as the national secretary (1935-1947), and lastly, as a member of the board of the directors (1947-1964). Throughout her years of service with the NAACP, Lampkin increased membership and gave speeches throughout the United States.
In addition, she continued to rally for voting rights, becoming vice-chair for both the Colored Voters Division of the Republican Party and the Negro Voters League of Pennsylvania.
Among the most important episodes of Lampkin's service to the NAACP was when she spearheaded the anti-lynching button campaign of 1937, which was aimed to support the Costigan-Wagner Act that was to be voted on in the U.S. Congress. The act called for federal intervention when local authorities failed to respond to lynchings. To this end, the NAACP was faced with the difficult task of increasing blacks' awareness of lynchings. As Lampkin recalled in a 1962 interview with author Robert L. Zangrando, "We were so ashamed that whites could do that to us, that we hardly wanted to talk about it publicly." Some 250,000 buttons were produced that read "Stop lynching! N.A.A.C.P. Defense Fund." Sold at a time when blacks were still suffering financially from the Great Depression, the buttons grossed $9,378 by April of 1937.
Lampkin was also involved in much behind-the-scenes work, including convincing future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall to become a member of the association's Legal Defense Committee. She is said to have told the young lawyer in 1938--when he was practicing law in Baltimore--that he should move to New York to be near the NAACP headquarters. By 1954 he had become an attorney for the organization and argued the case of Brown vs. the Board of Education before the U.S. Supreme Court. In particular, Lampkin worked closely with Roy Wilkins, who was head of the NAACP at the time of her death.
Some historians doubt that an accurate measure of Lampkin's contributions as an activist was ever made during her lifetime. Edna B. McKenzie, an emeritus professor at the Community College of Allegheny County, remarked in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "the men really depended upon her. I doubt seriously if they could have done it without Daisy Lampkin. She raised the money and she recruited the people. I'm not just talking about Pittsburgh; I'm talking nationally." And Lampkin was described by Paula Giddings in When and Where I Enter as an example of "women who performed much of the nuts- and-bolts work of their organizations, yet were hardly expected to gain public recognition or even be in on major policy decisions." However, in some instances her impact was clearly documented: in 1944 she was credited with increasing the NAACP's membership more than any other executive; in 1945 the organization named her its "Woman of the Year;" and during her last year as national field secretary, Lampkin was reported to have raised over $1 million for the NAACP.
During the early 1950s, Lampkin renewed her involvement in women's issues when she assisted the black sorority Delta Sigma Theta with a fundraising campaign to create a national headquarters in Washington, D.C. As Paula Giddings noted in 'In Search of Sisterhood', this campaign or "'crusade' would be different from the others. For the first time she would try to raise a significant amount of funds wholly within one organization: an organization whose members, chapters, and regions had varying amounts of resources." The resulting campaign called for chapters to give the prescribed amount of $100 each, for graduate sorors to give at least $10, and for student members to give $5. In this way she helped the sorority to centralize their record keeping and finances and to have a presence in the policy-making center of the nation.
In December of 1964, she was honored with the Eleanor Roosevelt-Mary McLeod Bethune World Citizenship Award from the National Council of Negro Women for her dedication to racial and gender equality.
Hypertension and arthritis were the leading causes that prompted Lampkin to leave her position as NAACP field secretary and the hardship of extensive traveling, but she continued to work as a member of the organization's board.
After giving over fifty years of her life to the struggle for African American equality, Lampkin passed away on March 10, 1965 after suffering from a stroke a few months earlier while at a NAACP membership drive in Camden, New Jersey. The Lampkins had no children, but helped to raise a friend's daughter, Romaine Childs, who became Lampkin's heir.
In 1983 Lampkin was recognized in her adopted home town of Pittsburgh by a historical marker on her Webster Avenue apartment building. This was the first time the state of Pennsylvania awarded a plaque to honor an African American in the city. In 1997, she was the recipient of the "Spirit of King" award, which honors civil rights advocates from Pittsburgh who embody the ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In Pittsburgh, Lampkin is remembered for her achievements as an advocate for social change and for her remarkable personal attributes. In 1997 Steve Levin wrote in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "Daisy Lampkin had a way about her that charmed politicians and emboldened the browbeaten....[S]he could fly into a city, give several speeches with her oratorical flair and get even the most parsimonious to donate;" he added, Lampkin is "considered by some to be one of the great American women of the 20th century." A woman with a passion for hats, Lampkin was affectionately known to her friends and colleagues as "Aunt Daisy." At one time, Lampkin rented an apartment to a teacher named K. Leroy Irvis, who later became the Pennsylvania House of Representatives' longest-serving speaker. Irvis recalled in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "If she had any vulnerability, I never saw it. She could be soft when it was needed or she could be hard and commanding when she needed to be. She was the one person who could tell me to sit down and shut up and I would sit down and shut up."

Side Trips from New Orleans Restaurant Reviews
Part of the considerable charm of the region west of New Orleans is the Cajun food, popularized by Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme, a native of Opelousas. This is jambalaya, crawfish pie, and filé gumbo country, and nowhere else on Earth is Cajun food done better than where it originated. Cajun food is often described as the robust, hot-peppery country kin of Creole cuisine. It's a cuisine built upon economy—heavy on the rice and the sauces, lighter on the meats—and strongly influenced by African as well as French cooking traditions. Indigenous sea creatures turn up in étouffées, bisques, and pies, and on almost every Acadian menu are jambalaya, gumbo, and blackened fish. Alligator meat is a great favorite, as are sausages like andouille and boudin (stuffed with pork and rice). Cajun food is very rich, and portions tend to be ample. Biscuits and grits are breakfast staples, and many an evening meal ends with bread pudding.
Cajun cuisine extends beyond Cajun Country itself, and into many of the restaurants along River Road. North of Baton Rouge, however, in St. Francisville, more-typical Southern fare prevails. Here you will still find po' boys and sometimes gumbo, but barbecue is more common than boudin.

On the first Christmas there was an incredible light show that scared the shepherds and a brilliant star that guided wise men to the manger with the baby Jesus.
Quite a production, which is perhaps the reason that it only happened once.
Not so for Trans-Siberian Orchestra, whose popular retelling of the Christmas story has become a modern tradition for many families. When TSO returns to Orlando on Sunday for two performances at Amway Center, the show's combination of arena-rock bombast and holiday cheer faces the daunting task of topping itself.
"It has gotten insane," show creator Paul O'Neill said a few years ago. "I can honestly say we spend more on pyro in eight weeks than every other band in the world does in a year."
In 2005 the show blew the main circuit breakers at the Meadowlands arena in New Jersey. Two years later the production knocked out power in Jackson, Miss. "Not the whole city," O'Neill clarified, with a trace of disappointment, "just part of the grid."
The lasers, indoor snow and fire (what, no ice?) are a challenge for more than the production team. It's hard for reviewers to find fresh ways to describe the spectacle. "Enough pyro to barbecue a school of blue whales," screamed one headline in recent years.
In the Orlando Sentinel, the stabs at hyperbole have ranged from vaguely biblical ("All was not calm, but, boy, it was bright") to philosophical ("If the road to excess really does lead to the palace of wisdom … then the members of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra must be the wisest people on the planet").
Frankly, it has become exhausting. So this year, here's a chance for readers to craft their own reviews of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra extravaganza. Just take the template below, add the outrageous words of your choice and voila!, you're a critic!
Here goes:
"Trans-Siberian Orchestra again demonstrated that it never met a _____ (noun) it didn't love in a _____ (adjective) two-hour performance on Sunday at Amway Center.
The most ______ (adjective) portion of the show was tied to the holiday theme that put TSO on the map with its 1996 hit "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" and a trilogy of follow-up albums. The tale of spiritual transformation on Christmas Eve was steered along by the ______ (adjective) narration of cast member Bryan Hicks and embellished by _______ (adjective) special effects that included snowfall on the audience.
Powered by a less accessible story line, the second set was devoted to ______ (adjective) riffing. The non-holiday material is less _____ (adjective), but still ______ (adjective).
With enough lights to be _____ (verb) by _____ (noun) orbiting in space, the utterly ______ (adjective) stage is ultimately the star. It shines brightly enough to ____ (verb) the less-inspiring moments."
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
When: 2:30 and 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 16
Where: Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., Orlando
Cost: $43.45-$83.25

Mary Michelson, 83, was a longtime resident of Quincy. She lost her battle with cancer on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, at her daughter's home in Auburn. Born in Bard, Calif., on April 15,1929, she was one of 11 children. She was the last remaining sibling of Alfred and Lula Way.
Mary loved cooking and playing cards with her family. She was a retired hospital dietitian and also worked in the care-giving field for many years.
Mary was a longtime member of the Quincy congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. She loved sharing her faith with others and looked forward to a new paradise earth. Her favorite verse, Revelation 21-4: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away.
She is survived by six of her seven children; her daughter Cindy Hedrick passed away early last year in Lima, Ohio.
The remaining children are Sandra Cameron, Wanda Partlow and Jerry Cook, all of Quincy, Debby White, of Grass Valley, Karrie Green, of Auburn, and Michael White of Oroville; 22 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.
A celebration of Mary's life, open to all her friends and family, will be held Sunday, May 19, at the Vets Hall on Lawrence Street in Quincy at 2 p.m.
Dave Newcomb was born in 1929 in Newport, RI.
He comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. His maternal great-grandfather had a gravel company and a fleet of work horses. He was well known in Newport as the road maker. His maternal grandfather built and ran a restaurant and distillery which provided him with capital to invest in horses. His father owned and operated a fishery.
Entrepreneur refers to someone who attempts to profit through risk and initiative. This defines Dave from birth to death. He started selling eggs as a young boy and by the time he was 10 he had a thriving horse boarding business on their family estate. He remembered vividly being asked, as an eight-year-old, by a librarian what he wanted to do when he grew up to which he answered, "I am going to have a horse ranch out West." He recalled she laughed at him and he thought to himself, "I will do it!" Seventy-six years later Dave died on his horse ranch out west.
As a young child, Dave's favorite pastime was to go to the stockyards and watch the horses from Indiana being unloaded by the train-car loads. His sister tells of how Dave challenged the police officer who patrolled the Newport Beaches on horseback to a race. Although he was on a pony, Dave outran the police. This began a lifelong career of raising race horses. Many in Newport remembered him as the boy who played polo bareback on a horse so well trained there was no need for a bridle.
Dave joined the paratroopers at age sixteen. He explained he did this because he had business ideas and his mother would not let him have free rein. Shortly after returning from Japan, where he was stationed at the end of WW II, Dave left for Utah to attend college. After Utah, Dave went to Jackson Hole, Wyo., and Prescott, Ariz., where he worked galloping race horses. During this time, Dave purchased his first stud horse, Shamrock, and a mare named, Gentle Annie. He traveled from job to job with his horses and became known as the Gypsy. When it came time to choose his brand and a name for the ranch, he chose the Walking G.
His gypsy days ended when, after having traveled through the West, he came to Indian Valley in 1951. He said he had found his heaven on earth. The ranch they discovered was out on a dirt road. The valley had no telephone coverage at that time. Dave, Mary Ann and their three children lived in a log cabin. It was years before Dave could make a living off the ranch.
He started working in the woods and was described by the other loggers as a hard worker who would take on any job and do it well.
In the weeks leading up to his death he reminisced about the camaraderie among the loggers, telling of how once, when injured on the job, the entire crew came to see him in the hospital.
He appeared to be genetically predisposed to building roads; he was described by fellow workers as the best grader operator in the woods.
In the winter months when the woods shut down, he delivered milk to neighbors, sold Christmas trees and drove a gravel truck.
In 1956, Dave and Mary Ann started a camp which continued until 2009. Dave began to race and raise quarter horses and later thoroughbreds. His horses won numerous races and he is well known and respected in the horse racing industry.
During the last days of his life, while confined in bed, he often looked at a picture of one of his favorite stud horses, Bullwinkle, and recalled how he would ride him bareback every evening through the field and over the hill to Genesee to check the mares. He smiled when he spoke and his voice conveyed delight. At the end of his life he stated emphatically, "I have done everything I wanted to do."
He will be remembered as a man who worked ferociously and kept a tenacious hold on his childhood dream, despite setbacks and hard times. He succeeded in creating a way of life where he could still do those things which had brought him the greatest happiness as a child: riding horses bareback and winning races. Dave stayed in the game up until the end. Hours before he died his two-year-old great-grand daughter brought him a basket of eggs she had collected from the chicken coop. He used the last strength he had to acknowledge her and her entrepreneurship. He died knowing his dream was alive and well.
Dave is survived by his children: John Eric Cadenhead (Bronco), Heather Kingdon and Heidi Pace. He will be missed by many.
An opportunity to express your condolences to the family along with signing the memorial guest register is available online at.fehrmanmortuary.com

9 Comments
9 looks cool. I hate how pretty outdoor furniture gets gross so fast. Metal is easy to hose down and dry (bye bye spider webs!!) but usually the metal furniture is...ugly. These however, are spiffy. I like 9 the best because it reminds me of real armchairs with which remind me of an outdoor tea party....
Correction ^^^^ I meant #10!!!!!
I like #1 & #2 and LOVE #10. Do.not.like #4 for samw reasons as previous commenter. Don't like #3 because the mesh is chicken. I do not fancy sitting on chicken wire.
I love the chairs above. Especially the Fermob chair (#8). My only question is why is it that all modern outdoor seating is so prohibitively expensive? If anyone knows of any modern seating that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, how about letting the rest of us know!
Cute, but those wire seats have to have cushions!
I have a pair of adorable, French wire chairs. I never, ever sit in them because they are uncomfortable. That's just the problem with the material -- it's mostly looks over function. However the trio in the last image is amusing.
Nice! (Add a glass topper to mesh tables for stability. Not a problem!)
I love that a lot of these chairs could also be used indoors. The French wire chairs would give lots of personality to a shabby chic guest room or an eclectic entryway!
I love bringing exterior elements into my interior design. Doing so gives my apartment a wide open but very grounded feeling which I appreciate.

ok, so i just got a hacked ATV. i'm new to this, and have been doing a lot of looking around, but there is a lot of dated info, and it's very difficult to get a clear answer, so i'm gonna ask!
anyway, i've got a first gen 40 gig ATV, running ATV 2.1, boxee, xbmc, nito, and some emulators show up, couch surfer, and a few other things. i want to get the emulators working, i'd love to get external storage working. firefox is on the nito menu, but won't work. i'm really having a hard time figuring out USB storage, which is a big must have for me.
i'm thinking at this point, i need to reset everything, update, and rehack. i'd also like to find a clear way to upgrade this in the future. could i just (once i'm done tinkering with it) image the drive to another larger one (the 360(?) gig PATA one) later on, and replace it?
for now though, i just need to unhack, update, and rehack. could i just set it back to factory defaults in the main menu, then run a new patchstick?
any help is very much appreciated!

Please make sure it's certified (third party verified) organic.

Why do only the LabVIEW teams need the driver station?
Hi joelg236, thanks for pointing this out. We've made the correction: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/blog-driver-station-applicat.... Cheers, Rose.
Driver Station typo?
The "2013 Driver Station Application" section says "This is only needed by teams using LabVIEW". Is this correct, and if it is, is the update still recommended for other languages?
Corrected: Recommended for all teams
Hi Ian, thanks for the catch! Please see the correction above and here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/blog-driver-station-applicat.... Have a great Kickoff, Rose.
Driver Station
Is it a typo that only teams using LabVIEW will be needing the driver station this year?
Yes, that has been corrected!
Hi John, thanks for commenting! That was, in fact, a mistake. I've changed the text above and Frank posted a blog entry about this today -- you can find it here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/blog-driver-station-applicat.... Cheers, Rose.
Down loading the encrypted files
Are we able to down load the encrypted files prior to kick-off so all we need is the key? If so how does one do it or do we need to what until kick-off to get the files?
Available Now
Hi Ken, thanks for the inquiry. You can download any files listed as "AVAILABLE NOW" above -- just click on the link and follow the instructions on each page. Remember to check back regularly for updates to other links on this page, as they become available. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 800-871-8326, ext. 0. Have a wonderful Kickoff!
Encrypted Files
Thanks, so all we need to do to save is click the "Save Link As" to a file and we are good to go? Never done this before so just checking. :) Thanks again, Ken C.
Encrypted Files
Thanks Rose - you all rock!
FIRST Choice
Will the Game Specific Items immediately become active for purchase or is their a grace period to allow teams the chance to view them. My concern is for teams attending a kickoff where there may not be wifi access to be able to order before those teams who are on wifi at kickoff.
The game pieces won't be on sale until 4pm EST.
Trouble downloading encrypted files
Using a MacBook, when clicking on links to the encrypted files, I'm asked for a password, which we obviously don't have. I click <cancel>and save the encrypted PDF to the desktop, but when opening the file from the desktop it shows as being a corrupted file with no opportunity to enter a password. Will the saved file on my desktop automatically decrypt at a certain time this Saturday? Is there something I'm doing wrong here? I appreciate any help you can offer.
I thought the point was to download the encrypted version. You can't download it...
Which document?
Hi Neal, to which document are you referring? If you run into any further trouble and would like assistance, feel free to contact us at email@example.com or 800-871-8326, ext. 0. Best, Rose.
Can't download
I click 2013 game manual.
I then click Arena Layout and Markings (encrypted)
It starts working on a PDF but then asks for a password. No option to download...
Download Link
Hi Neal, under "Game Manual Documentation" you'll find a hyperlink to the "2013 Game Manual (encrypted)" PDF. You should right-click on that link and select "Save Link As". That should save the file to a location on your computer. The encryption code will be available during the Kickoff broadcast on Saturday. Feel free to contact us directly if you'd like for us to walk through it with you. You can reach us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 800-871-8326, ext. 0. Thanks, Rose.
Issue with the PDF documents downloaded from screensteps
The PDF documents appear to be corrupted. Attempting to down load the 2013 Control System documentation. The PDF text is a series of dots, no text appears.
Hi Willard, thanks for pointing this out. We've made some corrections -- the title page on a few of the manuals is still rendering incorrectly but the text should now be fixed on all ScreenSteps manuals. Let us know if you run into any more issues! Best, Rose.
More issues with PDF files
I just took a look at the SmartDashboard.pdf and it seems as if starting from page 17 most of the content is missing (only titles are rendered)
Slow downloads on Classmate Images
Would it be possible if you could use a torrent file for the intel files instead of a regular server download because if every frc user downloaded and seeded the downloads would go faster for all the teams and all they would need is a bittorent client such as UTorrent or other clients P.S. School WiFi cant easily DL 4.4 GB files so thats why i reccomend this.
Video of this year's task
I have gone through all 11 of the YouTube videos linked to this page and although they are informative, none of them appear to be the one we watched at the kickoff party earlier today -- the demo of what the robots have to do. Where is that link? I want to show it to my 4th grade students and get them hooked on tech early.
Autodesk Award
Does anyone know when the Autodesk award challenge is going to be released?
It is not being offered this
It is not being offered this year.
Field build
last year there were plywood drawings for a basic field. Is there something like this for this year. Where would we look? Also if there isn't an easy build. Are there more common names for the tubing? Ie electrical conduit or something of the like?
During Driver Controlled and Autonomous can you extend Height Wise to as high as you wish? or is there a limit like the weight limit?
Team drawings
I can't seem to get the Team Drawings downloaded. I just get an error stating the page is not available.
Can't.get the simulator. Installed

56 Up 2012 TV
Hard to believe 7 years have passed since I saw 49 Up.
I first saw this series at 42 Up. While its premise seems more fascinating than the actual movie, it is still an excellent series well worth the watch.
It's fascinating how the slogan "give me the child at 7, and I'll show you the man" is so accurate.
Another film that has a similar style is called Dear Zachary.

Prints & Drawings - 3 of 9
Winslow Homer
American, 1836-1910
An October Day
35.2 x 50.1 cm
Acquired by Sterling and Francine Clark, 1947
An enthusiastic sportsman, Homer often vacationed in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. There, in a space of twenty years, he executed approximately eighty-seven watercolors, of which An October Day is one of the best known hunting subjects. What appears at first glance to be a peaceful autumnal view is actually a scene of impending violence, as a swimming deer attempts to escape the hunter's boat.

Mixcraft's installer doesn't erase existing projects automatically. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, and you saved your project files in the Mixcraft folder, or anywhere inside your "C:\Program Files\" folder, the project files are likely still there, but hidden due to a Windows security feature called "virtualization."

First Year Themed Floors
Let's Get Connected
Welcome to Cornell! Residence Life is offering unique living environments through the themed communities. As you consider where you'd like to live in the fall, think about one of our three first year theme floors. Students who choose to live in themed communities will benefit from building close relationships with other residents who have similar interests. Students will have opportunities to develop leadership skills through active participation in the floor community. If you're an expert in the area or have a desire to learn more about that area, we would love to receive your application. By selecting a designated themed community, first year residents will:
- Create meaningful relationships with people across campus.
- Develop leadership skills through activities and environments where you are able to learn from each other's experiences.
- Be able to apply knowledge to service learning projects on campus and the surrounding communities.
- Be able to appreciate others' similarities and differences.
The Connect Floor program is like no other --- using the social landscape of a residence hall floor to create opportunities for personal growth.
Over the course of your first year at Cornell, you will experience programs and events that connect you to the college. Whether participating in a service project, learning about leadership development, exploring career interests or attending a diversity training workshop, you will gain a better understanding of what it means to be a student, a Cornellian and a global citizen.

Breast Cancer Memorial Tree Planting Saturday Oct. 17
Breast Cancer Memorial Tree Planting Saturday Oct. 17
Villaraigosa, Berman, Schiff, Sieroty and Greuel Confirmed in S.F. Valley
Pacoima, CA – On Saturday, October 17 several California elected officials will join volunteer tree planters in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Elected officials confirmed to attend include L.A. City Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, L.A. City Controller Wendy Greuel, Congressman Howard Berman, Congressman Adam Schiff, and California Senator Alan Sieroty.
More than 150 volunteers, friends and family members are expected to attend the community tree planting along with TreePeople staff and representatives from The Breast Cancer Care & Research Fund. Sixty cape chestnut trees will be planted at the Hansen Dam Aquatics Center, 11770 Foothill Blvd., Pacoima.
"We are delighted to collaborate with TreePeople on this meaningful event," says Michele Rakoff of the Breast Cancer Care and Research Fund. "Everyone knows someone who has been touched by cancer, and we hope today's tree planting will inspire and unite volunteers in our fight to eradicate this devastating disease."
The breast cancer memorial tree plantingcelebrates the life of loved ones who are living withbreast cancer, are survivors, who have passed or have been touched in some way by cancer.
"These trees will serve many functions," says TreePeople's Northeast San Fernando Valley Regional Manager, Pam Gibson. "They will capture and store much needed rainwater, filter the air and provide shade and beauty to park visitors."
The Breast Cancer Care & Research Fund's (BCCRF) mission is to eradicate breast cancer through education, research, advocacy and community outreach. The Breast Cancer Care & Research Fund (BCCRF) was founded in 1998 by Dr. John S. Link, Breast Medical Oncologist, Author and Board Chairman. For more information on the BCCRF, visit www.breastcancercare.org/.
TreePeople is an environmental nonprofit that unites the power of trees, people and technology to grow a sustainable future for Los Angeles. Founded in 1973 by teenagers, TreePeople's mission is to inspire, engage and support people to take personal responsibility for the urban environment, making it safe, healthy, fun and sustainable and to share the results as a model for the world.
